    Hello,

    I recently purchased a 2008 PreRunner with a four cylinder and a five speed transmission. I'd like to put in a new suspension with OEM shocks and struts like those being sold here:

    or here:

    and I was wondering if these parts should fit my truck without any modifications. I'm also thinking about painting the wheels black and I will be getting new tires so it seemed like it might be a good idea to get the suspension done first since it will need an alignment after the new tires anyway. I saw a good tutorial on YouTube about how to replace the shocks without a spring compressor. Thank you in advance for your advice. Have a good day.

    I took the camper shell off because the lumber rack was so heavy - the suspension came up about 2-3 inches after it was taken off! I'd like to get another one after I save up though.
